Jeep® enters the electric SUV arena with the 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S, its inaugural global battery-electric vehicle (BEV). Today, the production version of the Wagoneer S was unveiled, staying faithful to its concept. Launching in the U.S. and Canada in fall 2024, Jeep plans for international expansion.
The Wagoneer S Launch Edition introduces a host of refined design features, including black accents, an updated illuminated grille, 20-inch wheels, and a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, blending style and functionality. Inside, the focus is on comfort and connectivity, with 45 inches of usable screen space, an interactive front passenger screen exclusive to the segment, and premium heated and ventilated seating throughout.
Performance and Battery Specs –
Jeep Wagoneer S features impressive performance and range specifications in the electric SUV space. This all-electric BEV boasts an impressive 600 horsepower, 617 lb.-ft. of immediate torque and a 0-60 mph acceleration time of just 3.4 seconds, one-tenth of a second quicker to 60 mph than the gone but beloved Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. With over 300 miles of range on a single charge, the Wagoneer S ensures that you can go the distance without worrying about frequent recharges.
Equipped with Jeep’s exclusive Selec-Terrain traction management system, the Wagoneer S offers five distinct drive modes to handle various weather and road conditions: Auto, Sport, Eco, Snow, and Sand. This advanced system enhances driving confidence and ensures optimal traction in all scenarios.
Charging the Wagoneer S is both efficient and convenient, thanks to its 400-volt, 100-kilowatt-hour battery pack. With a DC fast charger, owners can charge from 20 to 80% in just 23 minutes, ensuring minimal downtime. Each Jeep Wagoneer S Launch Edition comes equipped with a 48-amp Level 2 home charger or offers access to public charging credits through Free2move Charge, providing flexibility and ease of charging for owners.
Built on the highly adaptable STLA Large platform, the Jeep Wagoneer S delivers exceptional performance with instant torque and rapid acceleration. Its all-electric four-wheel drive (4×4) system, powered by independent electric drive modules (EDMs) for the front and rear wheels, ensures superior traction in any condition. Coupled with the Selec-Terrain traction management system, which offers selectable drive modes tailored to various driving conditions, the Wagoneer S guarantees an exhilarating driving experience with optimal control.
Styling –
The 2024 Jeep Wagoneer S blends heritage with modern sophistication in its exterior design. The iconic seven-slot grille is reimagined with ambient lighting, while the aerodynamic hood and windshield are crafted for optimal performance. A sloping roofline and cantilevered rear spoiler contribute to its sleek silhouette, measuring at 192.4 inches long—just one inch shorter than the current Grand Cherokee 2-row.
Inside, luxury and technology converge seamlessly in the Wagoneer S. Resonating with the Grand Cherokee’s design language, the digital cockpit boasts over 45 inches of screen space, featuring a 12.3-inch center display and a 10.25-inch front passenger display. Premium materials and meticulous craftsmanship define the interior, resulting in an upscale, modern ambiance. Jeep’s collaboration with McIntosh elevates the audio experience, with a 19-speaker system, powered by a 1,200-watt amplifier and a 12-inch subwoofer, delivering exceptional sound quality. While the Wagoneer S accommodates five passengers, a comparison with the Grand Cherokee reveals similar front and rear seating room, albeit with a slight reduction in headroom.
Safety and Connectivity –
Safety and connectivity take center stage in the Wagoneer S, which boasts over 170 standard safety and security features. These include advanced technologies like Active Driving Assist, Intersection Collision Assist, and Drowsy Driver Detection. With Jeep Connect services offering over-the-air updates, the Wagoneer S stays current with the latest advancements.
Owners of the Jeep Wagoneer S are automatically enrolled in the Jeep Wave loyalty program, providing benefits such as worry-free maintenance and 24/7 support.
